Warmachine: Practice Games

Got in a pre-campaign practice game with my Khador today. I hosted, playing Trish's Menoth while Pete had Cryx, who played Finnegan's Skorne. All games were 35 points. I think we're all committed to our present forces except for Finnegan, who said he'd bring Retribution to the campaign but may now be considering Skorne. It might be useful to be the only Hordes army in the campaign.

The Jugger on my left flank takes a drubbing by the Menoth 'jacks and Bastions. A turn later, Butcher feats and everything here dies to the almost-wrecked Khador 'jack. Jugger eventually goes down. Butcher comes in to free up some engaged Widowmakers, gets over extended and is caught and killed by Amon Ad-raza's forces.

Pete's Denegrah list hits Jon's Skorne list. If I heard right, Cryx caught Skorne with a feint and sealed the deal.

Legion of Everblight: Finished War pack

 Here is the completed Hordes war pack (plus 2) I did for my buddy Jon. I am pretty sure that the Shredders and maybe other models don't need an arc to speak of but I don't have a book or cards to be sure. Anyway, I marked all models with an arc, easy enough to paint over.

I also added adhesive-backed felt into the Privateer Press Legion dice tin. I've done this with the other original dice sets I own... the felt deadens some of the noise of rolling into the trays.

Hordes WIP: Legion of EverScott

One of my best friends has a son named Scott, who apparently is getting into Everblight, so I offered to paint up some of his stuff, to get the young master to a painted standard. If he is interested, he can use this WIP series as a painting guide when he decides to try his hand. I'm looking to knock this group out in about 2 weeks of PT painting. I am using my paint and water-based stain method for these. All models are pinned and puttied where it matters. I haven't painted much of anything in months so this will be a nice way to get warmed up for the backlog in worthwhile fashion.

All told, this is on the bench:

1. Lylyth
2. Carnivian
3. Shredders x4
4. Nephilim

I added a Foresaken to the group for Scott, since that seems to be a must-have or probably-should-have, according to the kids at the pool hall.

Stay tuned for more as things progress.
